Generate a Repl directly from Figma, and instantly share a static React app with your team.

Storj is also leveraging macaroons. Great write-up on decentralized access control here: https://medium.com/@kleffew/what-is-capability-based-securit...

I love using replit to write tools for completing small tasks. I recently used it to send out a SMS via twilio to my entire hs class for our 10 year reunion.

Storj uplink package has benefits around parallelism, erasure-coding, etc that improves on S3 protocol in many ways: https://docs.storj.io/dcs/getting-started/quickstart-uplink-...

How are you currently distributing the audio download? Any interest in using a distributed CDN layer – happy to get help get it funded

open-assistant from LAION is in the process of creating an OSS RLHF dataset for a personal assistant, may be useful for this project

I don't see why intent of the artist matters.

As a human, I have a natural right to take inspiration from content, use facts I learn from books, concepts from art, jokes from movies, etc.

Don't see why using a machine to augment/extend this capability is any different

If you don't want people seeing your art and learning from it, then why would you post it on the internet in the first place?

This is how you unlock productivity and drive human flourishing.

Person enters "Ann Graham Lotz", image of Ann Graham Lotz appears. Why does this upset people and google image search doesn't

Best way to compete with Cloudflare is to use decentralized cloud storage options, that are compatible with S3, cheaper, and faster – like storj.io

I guess centralized ponzi schemes are better: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm...

wrote a guide that will help developers get up to speed on using open-source AI, Stable Diffusion, with open-source web3 object storage.

This would be even more awesome if the underlying object storage was distributed on web3 via storj (would generate better bandwidth margins too)

Decentralized cloud storage will keep data borderless

The "amount of human lives cost" is also not a real thing, because we have an incomplete picture of elasticity for market substitutes for energy demand (which is nearly all goods, because they all require energy)

Point is - using your dryer does not actually cause human suffering. This is a simply a utilitarian argument with an incomplete picture, the structure of which is often utilized to promote atrocities like communism, genocide, etc.

Unscientific, sensationalist, and pretty much wrong.

It’s just not a great argument, and doesn't consider the opposition argument - the human rights benefits (for people fleeing war zones, in predatory monetary regimes, etc.) are worth the electricity usage – because people/the market are valuing it that way.

Dryers are unnecessary - we could airdry all of our clothes, but we value the convenience it brings. The value that bitcoin brings in terms of human rights is much greater than the convenience of dryers, yet we hear nothing about "banning dryers" or "dryers killing people".

Ethereum gas is just a measurement of blockspace demand on a specific difficulty epoch, has nothing to do with real gas or energy

Would be cool to back this to decentralized cloud storage (should be pretty easy to do via Storj S3 integration): https://docs.storj.io/dcs/getting-started/quickstart-aws-sdk...

Or even Restic directly: https://docs.storj.io/dcs/how-tos/backup-with-restic/

RClone + Storj DCS (Decentralized Cloud Storage)

Yeah, as long as you have good uptime. Check out storj.io/node

Decentralized Cloud Storage services, like Storj DCS – are really interesting when compared to R2/S3. They are compatible with AWS S3, but with better economics than both R2 and S3 (1/10 price of amazon) - https://docs.storj.io/dcs/getting-started/quickstart-aws-sdk...

Very nice to see the economical comparison include decentralized storage providers like Storj DCS

Nope. Bitcoin use and mining power are completely uncorrelated. By mining bitcoins, your earn as much as the computational fraction you are representing. So, indeed, there was a race to more and more mining power in the recent years but it can completely be reversed. For example if electricity prices rises.

Bitcoin could be used by the whole world with mining only happening on a laptop. That would not change anything for Bitcoin users.

Why do you say this? How does bitcoin = corruption – it's simply PKI-based ownership of DLT data. If anything the restriction on money-printing should abet corruption, no?

Loser mindset

Storj DCS is a good option for storing and delivering user-generated content. It is globally availble - so you don't need to worry about AZ replication, and it's 1/10th the price of Amazon S3.

We were paying $100,000 a month storing user-generated content, and now are paying about $10,000 a month after migrating

Decentralized storage taps into latent/underutilized capacity from datacenters and individuals across the world. For example, if you have 10TBs of free capacity that wouldn't otherwise be used, and running a node is pure margin. Most private datacenters are at about 40% capacity.

Another example –> the total cost for me is more than 10x cheaper than AWS - its 7$ for TB/Bandwidth vs $90 on AWS. I can also get 1.8gbps - in my region, which is even faster than AWS, and it doesn't rely on ACL databases (it uses client-side hmacs for file authorization). So, for my use case (static content storage and low-volume CDN usage) decentralized cloud wins. (it's 10x cheaper, faster, and more secure for my needs).
